Douluo: The Peerless King Dong'er's Restarted Life

Chapter 121 Ma Xiaotao Wants to Be a Stepmother?
After listening to Dai Yueheng's story, Ma Xiaotao blinked and said, "So your father was a hero?"

When heroes are mentioned, both Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin show a proud and honored expression on their faces.

"Grandfather once said that Father's talent was comparable to that of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils leader, our ancestor Dai Mubai, the White Tiger Douluo. Father commanded the Western Army Group, making the border impregnable. In the entire Star Luo Empire, only Father deserves the title of hero!"

"How many wives does your father have?" Ma Xiaotao's eyes lit up, as if she was somewhat interested in Dai Hao.

Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin's expressions immediately turned strange.

Does this crazy woman want to be their stepmother?

"Why are you asking this?" Dai Yueheng's tone became strange.

“My father only had one wife, my mother, and in our generation, there were only two brothers, Huabin and me. My father was very disciplined in matters of women, and he often said, ‘If a man cannot control his desire for women, he will not achieve anything great.’”

"Pfft—" Wang Dong'er spat out the water she had just drunk, which landed right on Dai Huabin's face.

"Wang Dong'er, what are you doing!" Dai Huabin was instantly enraged and stood up abruptly, but was pressed down by Dai Yueheng.

"Wang Dong'er, what's wrong?" Dai Yueheng asked, his face still bearing that faint smile, showing no emotion.

"Ahem." Wang Dong'er cleared her throat. "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something happy."

Not to mention Huo Yuhao, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin probably don't even know who Huo Yuhao is.

But they also have a younger brother, Dai Luoli, born to Dai Hao's concubine.

And who exactly would bring up such a phrase all the time?

However, to some extent, Dai Hao certainly never vented his anger at home.

Otherwise, how could Huo Yuhao not even have an impression of what Dai Hao looks like? He hadn't seen Dai Hao return to the Duke's mansion for at least ten years.

As for whether Dai Hao has ever sought solace outside the home, such as running away like Dai Mubai and having an affair with two sisters in a hotel, no one but Dai Hao himself knows.

"Senior, can I ask you a question?"

It was Xiao Xiao who spoke; she had been deep in thought since earlier.

"Ask away." Wang Dong'er was unwilling to elaborate, and Dai Yueheng didn't ask any further questions, instead turning to look at Xiao Xiao.

"According to what you said, the White Tiger Duke joined the legion under an assumed name back then?" Xiao Xiao asked.

“This…I don’t know.” Dai Yueheng remained silent.

"Does the White Tiger Duke never use his Martial Soul?" Xiao Xiao asked again.

Before Dai Yueheng could reply, Ma Xiaotao said, "How could we not use martial spirits? Although the army is mostly made up of ordinary people, it's not without soul masters."

"Aren't the soldiers curious?" Xiao Xiao asked with an innocent look.

Since following Wang Dong'er, she felt like she was starting to use her brain. Whether it was her previous guess that the teacher who led the team but encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast was Xuanzi, or now finding the blind spot in Dai Yueheng's words.

After Xiao Xiao said that, the others finally realized what was going on.

Duke Baihu can't possibly go ten years without using his martial spirit, can he?
Moreover, it's impossible for an ordinary person to rise to the position of legion commander. But as long as he uses his martial soul, which is the same as the previous White Tiger Duke's martial soul and soul skills, how could it not arouse suspicion?

No one would doubt that Dai Yueheng was making up a story, but... it was just very strange.

Huo Yuhao initially listened to Dai Yaoheng's story about Dai Hao as just another story, but when he heard Dai Yaoheng say that Dai Hao only had one wife and was very disciplined in his pursuit of women, he almost stood up to criticize him.

Fortunately, the spray of water that Wang Dong'er threw at Dai Huabin's face interrupted his emotional buildup. Xiao Xiao's subsequent series of questions made Dai Yueheng's story full of flaws.

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward, Wang Yan returned.

Wang Yan didn't notice the awkward atmosphere spreading within the group, and instead directly shared his findings from his solo exploration earlier.

According to Wang Yan's findings, they should not be far from the location of the Hand of Death's encampment.

At Wang Yan's suggestion, with Wang Yan leading the way and Huo Yuhao assisting with his mental detection, the group immediately set off.

With Huo Yuhao's mental detection, even in the dead of night, Wang Yan could easily observe details that he would normally never be able to see.

Following these details and clues, the group finally found the messy footprints.

These footprints were clearly left by members of the Death Hand organization.

"Everyone, get yourself ready. We'll be fighting soon. Especially for the students from the outer academy, your primary task isn't to kill the enemy, but to protect yourselves," Wang Yan said.

"Huo Yuhao, is this the extent of your mental detection?"

“If I want to explore farther places, my mental and soul power will be consumed faster and more.” Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment before saying it.

"Really?" Wang Yan was pleasantly surprised and quickly instructed Huo Yuhao to begin probing, focusing on one direction.

After Huo Yuhao shared the intelligence he had gathered, Wang Yan quickly made arrangements: "According to Huo Yuhao's reconnaissance, the Death Hand organization should be located at the foot of the hill ahead, where there is likely to be a cave or similar hiding place. However, we need to confirm their identity before we take action."

"Ma Xiaotao, you will lead the inner court team in the main attack. You will also take command of the reserve team. I will be in charge of the other outer court students. Now, everyone, immediately change into your monitor suits!"

Everyone took out their Overseer's Rings, which they had already bound with blood beforehand, and now they all took out the Overseer's equipment.

The Overseers' equipment was all the same color, dark green. In addition to their outer garments, cloaks, and masks, they also wore a thin inner suit of armor.

The inner armor is tough and highly elastic, with a layer of fine scales on its surface that seem to prevent soul power from penetrating from the outside in. Moreover, the inner armor completely covers the head, with only the eyes, mouth, and nose exposed.

In addition to this equipment, there are also three Shrek Inspector-specific signal flares.

The male and female students changed into the Inspector outfits in different places, and then reunited.

"Let's prepare to depart as previously agreed," Wang Yan said.

"Alright, everyone from the inner courtyard, and the reserve team, follow me." Ma Xiaotao immediately got into the zone and began giving orders.

"Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, you two follow me later. Be careful, and it would be best to destroy their corpses as well. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Evil Soul Masters are rare after all, and they might have some strange abilities."

Wang Dong'er didn't mean to hide anything, and everyone else, including the outer academy students led by Wang Yan, could hear her.
